If I were THAT worried about teasing in relation to a certain name, I'd probably avoid using it. However, A lot of kids get picked in school anyway and survive more or less unscathed. And I know zillions of people who went to public schools and are nice and intelligent.
It seems you're using my question as a pretext to boast how smart and precocious you are.
